Thanks for visiting!
Offered is an unusual, well preserved and essentially complete 11.5cm example of the Early Middle Miocene Amphibian Chelotriton paradoxus from the Gacko Formation of Gracanica, Bosnia.
Dorso-ventrally preserved, the bones are replaced with a brown limonite, which contrasts well with the light grey matrix; the skull is detailed and shows both upper and lower jaws. The vertebral column, with ribs anteriorly, is intact and both delicate pelvic and pectoral girdles are preserved with associated limb bones................the lower abdomen has freshwater shellfish in-situ and suggests that gut contents are preserved!
In all a fascinating and affordable legacy of Miocene freshwater life.
Matrix approx. 21cm X 11cm X 3cm.
Although I sell a very wide range of fossils from Pre- Cambrian to Pleistocene age, I specialize in trilobites from all over the globe and in particular, British species.
I collect regularly in the UK, with more than forty five years of fieldwork experience and probably the best working knowledge of British trilobite localities. I have a doctorate and a masters degree in trilobite taxonomy and British Palaeozoic stratigraphy and an Open University degree in Natural Sciences.
If you are an amateur collector, a more serious scientific collector, or an agent for an educational organization ( e.g College, University or Museum), I can supply materials to suit your needs! I also buy whole collections and trade materials too. Visits are welcome,by appointment only.
